So long story short, I had a promising career and was finishing up my Masters degree to be a mobile dev and my life fell apart due to health issues and I'm now permanently disabled. Lost most my stuff because of conservative parents not being accepting and staying on my cousin's couch without anything to do all day.

All I've got is an old android phone and wish I could but can't afford to buy a Switch. Any suggestions for me? A lifetime of daytime tv is just making me spiral. Thanks buds.

Hope things look up for you man. I used to play a game called smash it which all you basically do is throw metal balls at glass. I really enjoyed it though. Also got into a little platformer called leap day. Gems of war is pretty deep but there's micro transactions and stuff like that, and way way back in the day i used to play a little rpg called zenonia. Idk if it's even still in the Android store.

Game Dev Story from kairosoft! It’s about 3-4 usd I think. Plus check out the other games from kairosoft too they’re pretty decent - Grand Prix story 1 & 2, pocket league story among them. Game Dev story should be of particular interest as it’s about making games.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm an aspiring game dev trying to find a way into the industry, but it's hard.

If your device can handle it, I would look into Star Ocean: Anamnesis and Shin Megami Tensei Liberation. They're both light RPGs. (I say "light" because they're both based on console RPGs but the mobile games consist only of combat and building up your party)

I’m gonna assume they’re of the “disabled people are government leaches unless it’s me” mentality, or Trumps entire base.
Not trying to get political, just letting you know there’s hardly ever any sound logic behind those beliefs. These kinds of people are always looking for something to hate and look down on.

Bruh, GameCube was a hot collectors market as far back as 2010. Smash bros melee was sitting at $50-$70 used by 2013, and hasn’t dropped.

OG Xbox is a little better, but the poplar games are still disproportionately prices due to demand. It’s like 1/5 games is still valued over 20 bucks, even Kotor is spendy and that ones been given away for free on Android and IOS in the past.

Ps2 is most feasible as Sony printed more of their games than Nintendo did for GameCube and Microsoft for the Xbox. Which makes sense when you think about the rate at which the ps2 sold in comparison to those other consoles.
